Dr. Benjamin Bikman earned his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders. He is currently a professor of pathophysiology and a biomedical scientist at Brigham Young University in Utah.
Dr. Bikman's professional focus as a scientist and professor is to better understand chronic modern-day diseases, with a special emphasis on the origins and consequences of obesity and diabetes, with an increasing scrutiny of the pathogenicity of insulin and insulin resistance. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science meetings.
Dr. Bikman has long been an advocate of a ketogenic diet in light of the considerable evidence supporting its use as a therapy for reversing insulin resistance. His website InsulinIQ.com promotes dietary clarity, healing, and freedom through evidence-based science about insulin resistance. Employing cell-autonomous to whole-body systems, Dr. Bikman's recent efforts have focused on exploring the intimate associations between the metabolic and immune systems.

❤💪🏋️♂️🙏✝ GOD BE WITH US IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST INSULIN RESISTANCE ✝🙏⛪️🧗♂️🕊
In UK, struggling to get C-Peptide testing or more info.
What equipment is needed to test myself?
So many microphones, so poor audio 🙁 Otherwise great talk
Why can’t I get my insulin into the single digits. I am carnivore. It’s 28. UGH!
I’ve always loved you slides doc. Can’t get it wrong with those.
Thanks for all your efforts.
Thank you so much
I agree about the pill cabinet. I knew someone who had high blood pressure. He started on 2 pills. Over the next ten years he was up to 16 tablets per day. Tablets for heart disease then cancer then erectile dysfunction. Oh he went on to have chronic kidney disease and dreadful skin tags etc.
I have loads of respect for this guy, but he’s a Creationist?? Yikes!
Any research on how low should insulin be as an indicator for Autophagy? My lowest after 3days of fasting is 1.7
Not insulin resistance Ben. You got schooled recently by Bart, learn a few things.
Your explanation here is incorrect yet again by ignoring the facts of the Randle cycle.
Keep on getting it wrong Ben, maybe one day
Thank you. I listen to lots of videos like this and even though I hear some of the information multiple times, I am continually adding to my understanding by hearing things again.
As a GP practicing in Australia, i have shifted my attention from glucose-centric to insulin-centric model and i can attest to better health (even Diabetes Remission) amongst my patients. De-prescribing medications is now my favourite clinical goal. Thank you to Dr Bikman, Low Carb Down Under & Dr Brukner’s Defeat Diabetes Research 💫 Understanding metabolic health has made me become a better doctor. Let’s all continue the ripple effect, spread it around, one individual at a time 🌍
Brilliant ❤
I have a question i was told this to day any one eles can explain this why i was told this thanks .Yes you can kick it with a routine switch and can pull through fairly quickly… Work your way up to a liter of lemon water and honey every morning to start the day then your fruit smoothie consisting of banana, orange, berries (wild blueberries) spirulina, barley grass juice powder and Atlantic dulse seaweed plus celantro if you can. And large salad for lunch each day with lime and maple syrup dressing. Keep the fats and proteins out as long as you in can and dial back your intake of nuts and seeds or cut them if possible. Put steamed spuds with your salad if it’s not appetizing or you want more bulk.
Check out the new American Diabetes Society. Dr. Ben Bikman sits on the board.
Please have a research on how GKI of less than 2 can reverse insulin resistance compared with GKI of more than 2
Thank you!
Please read the book written by Ben Bikman “Why we get sick “🙌
And give this book to your GP!
Wow!
Which is the best fasting regime for the perimenopausal woman?
